Default Project Activity Permissions

If you're a project administrator, or if you created a project (which makes you an administrator by default), you can set permissions that control what users in various roles can do with your project, like seeing your forums, checking out source code, or contributing bug reports. The default permissions permit just about anyone to see your project's forums, wiki, email lists, bugs, and source code. If you're sensitive about who sees your project information, you can change the default permissions and limit who can see your features.

Listed below are the default role permissions for all project features.

Issue Tracking

From the Project Kenai point of view, the tasks users can perform in an issue tracker (like creating bugs, editing bugs, and so on) depend on their roles in the project. You can't change the issue tracker permissions for individual project roles in Project Kenai as you can with other features, but you can move your users to new Kenai roles. You can also change what your users can do in your issue tracker administrative tools, as described under Managing Roles and Tasks on the Managing a Project page.
